You Know that Larger Breed Dogs Need a Large Dog House?

The
Fundamental Prerequisite of a Large Dog House

Any
dog house has to fulfill certain basic needs and the large
dog house is no exception. Now let us try to understand the
basic requirements of large dog house in its larger perspective:


Guarding against Sun  You should provide sufficient
shelter in the large dog house so as to safeguard your dog
from the scorching sun.

A
good shelter can save you r dog from sun as well as from dehydration
complications. Further the shelter can maintain a cool interiors
in the large dog house there by helping your dog to maintain
its body temperature.


Guarding against Snow and Rain  You should note to make
the large dog house totally waterproof.

A
good waterproofing solution can protect your dog from the
chilling snow and be able to maintain a cosy atmosphere inside
the dog house.
Further, the facility will also protect your dog from rain
and humidity.


Guarding against Wind  Please note to make provisions
for protecting your dog from strong winds, as majority of
the dogs especially bigger dogs are very prone to sickness
if exposed to strong winds.

While
providing all the above-mentioned things, you should not compromise
on the safety and security aspects and in no case you should
fail in providing such facilities in your large dog house.

The main purpose of any dog house is to provide a safe and
comfortable shelter for your dog all through the year.

There
are two schools of thought when it comes to the size of the
dog house. One section of people claim that irrespective of
the size of the dogs, all dogs are to be necessarily accommodated
only in a large dog house.

The
other section of people argue that the size of the dog house
should be based on the size of the dogs meaning that larger
the dog size, the larger will be the size of the dog house.

Both
the factions of people can be considered right in their own
perspectives.
However, the size of the dog house should be basically determined
based on the size of the dog.

If
your dog is bigger in size, then the dog house should be large
enough to accommodate the dog comfortably. Though there is
no harm in accommodating a smaller dog in a large dog house.

The
small dog may not relish such a big dog house and may start
feeling unpleasant and you also run a risk of your smaller
dog discarding the dog house totally.

Hence,
to make the situation better you can try to strike a balance
between two sizes namely large dog house and small dog house
meaning that you can make the dog house just comfortable enough
with ample space for movement for your dog.
